Is Flash listed in the plugins section of about:addons (or hit Ctrl+Shift+A)?

One of your "blockers" is probably blocking something needed by the game.
Restart in Safe Mode & see if you can play.

http://www.addictinggames.com/action-ga ... racers.jsp works for me though I have Flash Player 24.0.0.213 Beta from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html and not the stable Flash Player Release 24.0.0.194 http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

What Extensions do you have as there are a number of adblocking. video blocking or such extensions that may be interfering or need to be configured.

I have no extensions installed, so they don't interfere with Flash. The beta still not in Arch repo or AUR, so I pack it for myself and test.

@rafjak74

Close all instances of SeaMonkey and uninstall Flash Player using this tool:
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flas ... player.exe
(it's official Adobe tool and it's their server).

Then install again using full offline installers:
1) Mozilla (plug-in based) browsers:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashpl ... player.exe
2) MS IE:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashpl ... yer_ax.exe

Did it help?

For some more advanced games you'll need Shockwave Player:
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/s ... r_Full.exe
Be careful! It will install additional software (Chrome browser AFAIR) if you will not deselect such option.

@tombenko

If it's not in your distro's depository then you can download latest Flash Player for Linux here:
http://get.adobe.com/pl/flashplayer/otherversions/
(choose what is best for your Linux distro)

The stable is in the repo, and is installed. The beta isn't, exactly a legacy beta is in AUR.

Just download the NPAPI 64-bit tarball from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html and extract the libflashplayer.so from it. Place it in a created plugins folder in /home/username/.mozilla/

If SeaMonkey is still running when you do this then either restart SeaMonkey or type about:plugins in the Location (address) bar to scan system for new Plugins.
